Calgary

The future of Calgary is downtown. TELUS Sky will be a new hub in the downtown core that will bring people together and an example of a new way to live and work in the city.

The upper levels at TELUS Sky (29–56) will be rental, meaning people who live in TELUS Sky will keep the building active vibrant 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year. This is how mixed-use live / work projects can help reorient cities, drawing people, businesses, ideas and life inward, from the suburbs to the downown core.

“Ranked the 5th most liveable city in the world by The Economist Intelligence Unit. Population density is low, quality of life is high and housing abundant.”
